>When I lived there a while back the shock to me was the “What nationality are you?” when trying to find a place to rent. Discrimination was commonplace and even explained away by the majority.
So, like the US, but with less hypocrisy about it?

In Singapore it’s just tolerated.
You are misunderstanding what the GP comment said. The reality is that landlords/employers can and do discriminate based on race, religion, age, etc all the time. They simply just can't say it out loud, that's the illegal part.
I find that Asian people tend to be pretty open about this stuff, whereas in the west it's taboo. Don't think that anyone would be foolish enough to try arguing that there's no silent discrimination occurring in the US.
